Important safety information
1. Press the test button to test the smoke alarm function. Do not use any other test method. Test the smoke alarm
every week to ensure that it is operating properly.
2. If the smoke alarm device triggers an alarm and you are sure that it is not really an emergency, open the windows
or fan the air around the smoke alarm device, the air is swirled, the alarm deactivates .. Remove the battery is not, the
battery must always be inserted.
3. Observe and follow all local, regional, and national electrical and building codes for installation.
4. This smoke alarm device is only intended for use in a room in an apartment or house. In multi-family houses, each
individual residential unit (or most of the rooms) should have its own smoke alarm device. Do not install the device in
unoccupied buildings. In addition, this smoke alarm device is no substitute for a complete warning, signaling or alarm
system.
5. Install a smoke alarm device in every room and on every level of the house (except the kitchen). For many reasons it
can happen that smoke or smoke does not reach the smoke alarm device. For example, if a fire breaks out in a remote
part of the house, on another floor, in a chimney, or on the other side of a closed door, wall, or roof, the smoke may
not reach the smoke alarm in time and, as a result, may not be able to reach the residents alert. A smoke alarm device
can only immediately detect a fire in the area or room in which it is installed.
6. The smoke alarm may not alert everyone in the family every time. The alarm tone is very loud to alert people to a
potential hazard. Under certain circumstances, however, a member may not hear the alarm (e.g. due to outside or
inside noise or deep sleepers, drug or alcohol consumption, poor hearing, etc.). If you suspect that this smoke alarm
device is not alarming a member of the family, install special smoke alarm devices. Every resident must hear the
alarm and be able to respond quickly to reduce the risk of damage, injury, or death from fire. If a member hears
poorly, install special smoke alarms with signal lights or vibrating devices to alert residents.
7. Smoke alarm devices can only trigger an alarm if they detect smoke, smoke or combustion particles in the air. They
don't see any heat, flames or gases. This smoke alarm device is designed in such a way that it gives an acoustic
warning of a developing fire. However, many fires are rapid - burning, explosive, intentional, or caused by
carelessness or safety hazards. In such situations, the smoke may not reach the device FAST ENOUGH and cannot
guarantee a safe escape.
8. Smoke alarms have restrictions. This smoke alarm does not provide protection if misused and does not serve as a
guarantee that life or property will be protected from fire. Smoke alarms are not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowners and renters should insure their life and property. In addition, it is possible that the smoke alarm device
fails at any time, because this is also a technical electronic device. For this reason, you must test the smoke alarm
device weekly and replace the device at least every 10 years.

Activation:
Press and hold the test button for about 3 seconds until the LED indicator lights up. Then immediately release the test
button. The smoke alarm will beep to indicate that it has been activated.Hinweis: If no sound is generated, the smoke
alarm device has not been activated correctly and must not be used! The device must not be deactivated!
test
A test is required immediately after activation; test the device to ensure proper operation by pressing the test button
for at least 5 seconds. This will trigger an alarm if the electronic circuit, alarm speaker and battery are working
properly.
If no alarm is triggered, the device has a bad battery or some other fault. See the "Troubleshooting" section to find a
solution.
DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm. Doing so could damage the alarm or ignite flammable materials and
start a fire.
CAUTION: Due to the volume (85 decibels) of the alarm, you should always stay a full arm's length from the device
when testing.
An irregular or low volume of your alarm can indicate a defective smoke alarm; You can find a solution to this in the
"Troubleshooting" section.
NOTE: A WEEKLY TEST IS MANDATORY.

Still mode (quiet mode)
The silent mode temporarily deactivates the alarm circuit for about 10 minutes. The detection of smoke is interrupted.
This function is intended to mute false alarms, but only if a known alarm condition, such as cooking smoke or the like,
triggers the alarm.
Press the test button on the top cover for at least 5 seconds (or until the device beeps) to activate silent mode. The
alarm goes into silent mode for approx. 10 minutes.
The smoke alarm is automatically reset after approx. 10 minutes. If after this time there are still combustion particles
or smoke, the smoke alarm is triggered again.
The breastfeeding mode can be repeated until the air is clear.
If the smoke alarm is near a hob, combustion particles while cooking can set off the alarm, using a fan on an extractor
hood that ventilates outside (without recirculation) helps to remove these flammable particles from the kitchen.
Therefore, the silent mode is extremely useful in a kitchen area or other areas prone to annoying alarms.
CAUTION: Before entering silent mode, you must identify the source of smoke and make sure you are in a safe
position.
DANGER: If the detector emits alarm pulses continuously and not as a result of a test, the device detects smoke. IN
THE EVENT OF TRIPPING THE ALARM, YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND ACTION WILL BE REQUIRED.

Installation recommendations and selection of installation location
installation
The smoke alarm device should be installed in every room (with the exception of the bathroom and kitchen) and in
every other area of the home. This ensures that people in the apartment can hear the alarm and react to it. For
minimal protection, you should install a smoke alarm in the hallway between the living and sleeping areas. Install the
device as close as possible to living areas and ensure that the alarm can be heard in the bedrooms.
Recommendation for a typical one-story apartment
Install a smoke alarm on the ceiling of each bedroom and in the hallway in front of each separate sleeping area. If the
hallway of a bedroom area is more than nine feet long, install a smoke alarm at each end. If there is a basement:
Install a smoke alarm device on the basement ceiling at the lower end of the stairwell.
Recommendation for a typical multi-storey residential building
Install a smoke alarm on the ceiling of each bedroom and in the hallway in front of each separate sleeping area. If the
hallway of a bedroom area is more than nine feet long, install a smoke alarm at each end. Install a smoke alarm at the
top of a stairwell from the first to the second floor.
Do not install smoke alarms in the following locations
1. In the vicinity of devices or areas where normal burns occur regularly (kitchens, near stoves, water heaters), use
special smoke alarms for these areas.
2. In areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, or near dishwashers or washing machines. Install the smoke alarm
device at least 3 m away from these areas.
3. Near exhaust air or heating and cooling valves. Set up at least three feet from these areas. In these places, the air
could blow away the smoke and thus prevent a smoke alarm device from being triggered.
4. In rooms in which the temperatures can fall below 0 ℃ or rise above 40 ℃, or in rooms with a humidity of more
than 93%. These conditions shorten the life of the battery or cause a false alarm.
5. In extremely dusty, dirty or insect-infested areas, particles can interfere with the operation of the smoke alarm
device.
Where is the best installation location?
- First you need to install a smoke alarm in the bedroom and in the hallway. If there are several bedrooms
You need to install an alarm in every bedroom.
- Install it in the stairwell and on each floor.
- Smoke, heat and burning objects spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling,
so install the smoke alarm in the middle of the ceiling of a house that has a normal structure.
- If for some reason the alarm cannot be installed in the center of the ceiling, the clearance should be
be more than 50 cm to the ceiling corner. (See picture 1).
- If the length of the room or the corridor is more than 9 m, you will need several smoke alarm devices in the corridor
to install.
- Smoke alarm devices in rooms with a horizontal ceiling slope of more than 1 m at a height of 8 m are on the
to install high side of the room. Install a smoke alarm on a sloping, pointed or cathedral-like ceiling, keeping a
distance of 50 cm and 150 cm from the highest point of the ceiling. (See picture 2).
